Paint Jobs

It's recommended to bleach and power wash prior to painting the exterior of a home. A primer/sealer should be used on any bare wood or masonry and on any chalky surface however if the surface is clean and sound, a good quality paint should adhere without a problem.

Paint stripper. Works for both metal and wood for a car sand otherwise surface contaminants will take longer to remove than sanding painting combined.

You got to remove the clear coat at least you can paint patches as you need and blend the paint by fading it out instead repainting the whole car witch take experience to achieve proper finish. Patches and panels will be easier to do a diy job that will impress your friends. Color match is really hard to get on your own that is why blend the paint the clearcot will return the car to its original state do not worry if it looks dull around the patch. Sand after 16 to 24 hours using 1200 grit wet sand until no more orange peel buff using compound and enjoy

Depends on which shop does the work. Basically, one gets what they pay for when it comes to body/painting work. Always try to get at least three written estimates before allowing this work to be done ... also ask for warranty information.

Pretty much any auto body shop will paint your car. Since they give free estimates, you can take it to different ones to find which one will you the best price.

spray to close..dries to quick.paint to thick

You will get a better result using drywall mesh cloth, 2 grades about 120 and 180.

If it's a fine or shallow scratch, you could try buffing it out with polishing compound, if it's deeper (can you catch your nail on it?) you would be better off taking it to a auto paint shop where they will do it for you for a small price.

Yes, it's generally recommended to sand between coats of acrylic enamel on floors to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish. Lightly sanding the surface helps to remove imperfections and creates a better bond for the subsequent coat. Use fine-grit sandpaper and clean the surface thoroughly before applying the next layer. This process can enhance the durability and appearance of the final finish.

Rubbing compound and wax

You have to make sure there are no imperfections in the clear coat. If so they need to be taken out with a fine grit wet paper like 1500 or 2000.

A good BUFFING COMPOUND not rubbing compound is used VERY CAREFULLY in small areas at a time until the desired gloss is achieved. BE CAREFUL,,,if you stay in one spot too long or put too much pressure on it, you will burn through the paint.

A coating system may consist of a coat of an anticorrosive material (primer) and one or more stripe coats. Stripe coats are applications of the top-coat (paint) which has been applied to edges of structure, welds, drain holes and other areas to over-come potential problems that can result when paint coverage is difficult/insufficient or non-uniform.

In a perfect coating system, the coating develops a constant thickness that never exceeds the proper limits (either too thin or too thick).

In reality, most coating materials exhibit behaviors that cause a reduced thickness around sharp corners like edges of structural steel profiles. This is caused by two phenomena: one is the surface tension of the coating material trying to "pull" from the edge, thinning the coat. Two is the chemical shrinking that many polymers exhibit when curing. Epoxies and polyurethanes show a marked shrinking. In adition to reduced coating thickness, the coating develops Residual Stresses that promote minute local failures in the coating, that progress until the coat fails or delaminates.

To reduce this phenomena, two things can be done: A) provide radiusing to reduce the Stress level and prevent coating failure at sharp edges. B) Apply a "Stripe-Coat" to all edges, welds, joints and high stress areas.

Radiusing is expensive and time consuming. Stripe coating is therefore the preferred solution. To provide a good Stripe-Coat, the painter must use a different color of material, painting a one to two inch stripe at every edge, weld, etc. For this action, there are special brushes, rollers and cartridges that supply the coating in the best way possible. Check Sherwin-Williams (and many others) specific materials for stripe-coat application. Check Theoretical principles at Academia.edu under "Fenómeno de generación de Esfuerzos Residuales".
